31. If your problem is with the political attitudes of refugees, then that should be your test

Ask them if they want to start civil strife in the USA.

I'd like a definition of "applying the Sharia", with some evidence of what that means to the people concerned. There are specific examples of Islamic law that I think are wrong and dangerous, such as blasphemy and apostasy being illegal. But if you ask a typical refugee fleeing a civil war between Sunni fundamentalists and a government with strong backing from Shia fundamentalists (Hizbollah and Iran), I suspect they'll say "religion is making this worse, I want a world where people mind their own business about how we worship".
